What is to become of Saab? Hopefully, something more than what is to become of Hummer, a doomed brand that no one seems to want.

Breaking news: no one wants Hummer.

Well, it really isn’t much news in the first place. When General Motors announced earlier this year that they would actively find a buyer for Hummer, their big niche sport/utility brand, analysts wondered who would want the brand. After all, when your most “fuel efficient? vehicle gets about 19 mpg on the highway, what value does the brand have when gas prices are north of $4 a gallon? Not much.

This is an announcement about 100 mpg for SUV’s.

As you know, I have been writing about the new technology Dutchman Enterprises has developed for an enormous increase of gas mileage for trucks and SUV’s. In the past they had some issues around EPA approval and they were in a pickle to grow a network of dealers because the car manufacturers didn’t want to work with them. It must have taken the recent downturn and the almost total collapse of SUV and truck sales to get a little more open minded towards technologies available right now. Dutchman Enterprises send me the latest update below today, and I feel anybody interested in ways to reduce gas mileage would want to stay up to date. I realize that adopting a new technology that hasn’t been approved by any large manufacturer is tough.

However, with gas prices reaching the extortion levels, people (out of necessity) have started to pay attention to how much fuel they are consuming.

And thus the word “hypermiling” has been born. The term “hypermiling” (originally coined by Wayne Gerdes) means, in simple terms, getting the best gas mileage out of the fuel you have.
